Muscle Powered and blue-belly guarded: Bob's Trail

Bob's Trail Post at Four Day Trail junction: manzanita backdropped and blue-belly guarded

The three-mile-long Bob's Trail is your backbone trail through the Ash Canyon Trail System. Various side tracks add interest and challenges to the east-west oriented Bob's Trail, which connects the (limited) Foothill Drive parking space at the outskirts of Carson City, Nevada, with the trailhead of the Ash to Kings Trail. 

Bob's Trail's side trails are short single tracks, between 0.3 and 1.3 long, and have max grads up to 19%. They include:

• Vicee Canyon Rim Trail
• Seven Steps Trail
• Eagle View Trail
• Evidence Trail
• Four Day Trail

It needs less than a day (depending on your mode of traveling: only a few hours) to visit, hike or bike all of them. And after each side trip you will always end up on Bob's Trail to get straight back to from where you started. Once the section between the ends of Eagle View Trail is completed, you'll have, for example, less than three miles back to Foothill Drive. 

Like the Eagle View Trail, Bob's Trail was built by Muscle Powered [1]:

Built by Muscle Powered at the beginning of 2018, Bob's Trail was named in honor of Robert “Bob” Crowell who was an advocate for trails and Open Space. Currently there are two segments of this trail with future plans to connect.
